September 2009 Grocery Challenge

nickynoo08

Just a quick update from me, went to mr T's this morn and spent £15 on a few bits and bobs. My morning sickness seems to have almost gone now:j but i'm still wanting to eat the most rubbish stuff:o, i've got a freezer full of lovely healthy stuff i can be making but nothing seems appealing to me at the moment so as of tomoro i am gonna make myself eat better.
I'm gonna try and put together some sort of of meal plan to last us the next week with all the stuff i've got in. Wish me luck i'm gonna need it:rolleyes:

Hi everybody : )
I haven't had chance to read through the thread yet - been away with no internet! - but thank you very much for including me on the list. I'm having to estimate the first week of this month at around 60 pounds (pound sign doesn't work on my keyboard, what's that about??) and have just had grocery delivery amounting to 80.11. So that's 140.11 so far this month, but I'm hoping to stretch the delivery shopping out more than a week : )
Will give details of anything interesting if it's likely to give anyone else ideas! Good luck to you all

98p spent for me (49p basics natural yogurt, 49p for 4 creme caramels basics)

The granola I made yesterday is going down really well (too well in fact might have to make more at the weekend - double quantities next time!!) even the kids like it and had it as a snack when they got in from school!!!

Updated my spending - doing OK so far but need to do a meal plan for next week which includes family meals that I can also eat and lose weight on!!

Spent £34.85 at Mr S this morning on milk, bread and frozen and fresh 'meat' for dinners for the next week and a half.

I seem to have afternoon/most of the day queasieness rather than morning sickness and I am sure I must look green. This is puttting me off messing about with food and making stuff from scratch so I have cheated and bought nice beef burgers, pork loin steaks (yellow stickered:j) and chicken grills for OH and veggie versions for me. I also bought a quorn cottage pie which I love but usually make myself. Naughty, naughty:o

My other news is I think I am going to take voluntary redundancy, finishing work in November, so I hope the nausea has gone by then so I can get batch cooking like a demon:D I can't wait to see how low I can get the GC when I have time on my hands.
